Mountain View Cottage in Historic Palmer Lake

Escape to this cozy 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat in the heart of Palmer Lake, Colorado. Wake up to views of Chautauqua Mountain and Sundance Mountain, from your private front porch or backyard with covered patio.

This beautifully updated 1900s cottage blends modern comfort with classic charm, featuring a smart thermostat, full kitchen, gas and electric fireplaces, and two private fenced yards (front and back). It’s ideal for families, couples, or remote workers seeking peace and adventure.

The two main bedrooms have king-size beds, and the third bedroom offers a queen. Unwind with the 55" Smart TV—stream your favorite apps like Netflix or Fubo. No A/C in the house. On-site washer and dryer included.

The raised wood deck with views of the Palmer Lake Star is perfect for morning coffee or afternoon relaxation. (Closed in winter.)

Stroll into town for local coffee, dining, and boutique shopping, or head to the 36-acre Palmer Lake Recreation Area for paddleboarding, fishing, hiking the Santa Fe Trail, or a game of pickleball. The Reservoir Trailhead is just a short walk away. You’ll also be within walking distance of Glen Park, where you’ll find a playground, picnic facilities, tennis, and trail access.

The nearby town of Monument is just seven minutes away, offering more dining and shopping options, including Safeway, Walgreens, and Starbucks.
